I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Amazon in Jul 2009
Interview
An acquaintance of mine introduced me to a friend that worked at Amazon and his group opened up a couple of developer positions. I sent in my resume and had a chat about my previous experience developing software and web applications. Then they scheduled me for an interview that lasted about one hour and involved basic level technical questions. After that, they scheduled me for a second, more technical interview.

Question 1
Write a java method for reversing the contents of a linked list. (Read it over the phone)
Great interview process with three rounds, including a technical assessment and a technical interview. The interviewers were professional and supportive throughout the process. The questions mainly focused on DSA, problem-solving, and core technical concepts. The discussions were engaging and provided a good opportunity to demonstrate technical skills. Overall, the process was well-structured, smooth, transparent, and a very positive experience.
